Abstract
Mal secco is one of the most severe diseases of citrus, caused by the necrotrophic fungus Plenodomus tracheiphilus. With the main aim of identifying candidate genes involved in the response of citrus plants to "Mal secco", we intend to measure the expression of transporter encoding genes that seem to be involved in the lemon response to pathogen
